What is the Electronic Cigarette?

The Electronic cigarette, electric cigarette or e-cigarette provides a clean and comfortable alternative to smoking. There are no stale tobacco odours. Your body, home, office and car can be free of ash, cigarette butts, and tobacco smoke, thanks to this ingenious device.

In many ways the electronic cigarette looks the same as normal cigarette and functions just like a regular cigarette. The e-cigarette tip glows when the smoker draws on the filter to inhale. The vapour which is inhaled offers a realistic substitute for tobacco smoke and even gives the same nicotine throat hit and taste. But how does it actually work?

How E-Cigarettes Work


The white body of the e-cigarette is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The filter, called a cartomizer, is a sealed nicotine container and disposable vaporizer combined. This part attaches to the battery. When you inhale, the electronic cigarette battery activates and starts to vaporize the contents of the cartomizer. The LED tip of the e-cigarette glows red while inhaling and returns to standby mode when you stop.

There is no tobacco smoke, tar residue or carbon monoxide with electronic cigarettes.
